Windows would kill that poor netbook

Is it one of those Atom-powered netbooks?

Yeah it wouldn't allow going past 7

Screen not high enough res

I've still got one of them laying around. It's surprisingly decent with Chrome OS

Microsoft put a limit on that with 8

Trying to force kill netbooks

Talking about chinkputers, I was thinking about getting a LGA1366 rig with a 6cores xeon.

This was mine

Toshiba nb200

Ohshit, it looks chunky.

I mean, kinda inflated.

Xeons are nice

Obviously not thinking about overclocking, that would be stupid with a xeon.

Tfw always see old PCs in salvation army and want to buy them up for projects

Le old man daily drivers

Ay

I have 3 olds laptops, one taken appart and I have no idea what to do with them.

One of them is dead, one has been taken appart and the last one have a single-core CPU.

So yeah, that's pretty much it.

You've gotta cannibalise those parts my man

I had a Toshiba Portege r700 that got zombied into another laptop

Thinking about making some monitors with the screens though, for some shit.

17" and 15" screen, 1600 x 900 both.

And a 11" screen, 1366 x 768

17" might make a nice mini mame cabinet

O

woops

I'm sorry, but why even bother? I've picked up monitors with the same resolution for free

If I could do so, that would be great. I live in a shitty area, there's only one computer/electronic shop here and it's the shitter.

Tfw friend wants to give me 3 broken 720p monitors, just a load of junk tbh

Finding stuff like this still working isn't easy.

I'm the tech graveyard man

Yeah, okay, fair enough. It's a little easier for me, considering and I live in a big city.

Well, relatively.

He's a giganormie and doesn't even know what a resolution is, just thinks some monitors are "sharper" than others

Even the most normie people I know understand the concept of resolutions.

Almost everyone I know understands it.

Which reminds me, a good while I picked up a Dell Ultrasharp U2412M and U2410 for ~$40 each.

Both 1920x1200. It was a very welcome upgrade over 1680x1050 and 1600x900.
